Sure it's an EU regulation?
Many vehicle/driving regs come from the UN, looks like this one does

Why a post? I must be understanding things wrongly. Surely on 'the Continent' speeds and distances etc are given in Kilometres (P/H) whilst in Britain though ostensibly we use the metric system speeds and distances are in Miles (P/H). So we limit ourselves to 60KPH for self drive cars,this is then translated, for the hard of thinking, to 37MPH .
We left the EU, We didn't turn the clock back till we used the Imperial system again. Yes I still think of wood as being 4x2 and 8x4 sheets. But now its 2metres of 4x2 and a 4mm sheet of 8x4, schizophrenic much?

You should be worrying about "green" welders, wine fridges, battery-powered washing machines and digital signage, apparently ...

More likely 1.8m or 2.4m lengths, and are the sheets 1200x2400mm or
1220x2440mm, and why does it differ between wood and plasterboard?- Vote on answer

Similar confusion for fences, which are available in 180 and 183 cm widths. The second one is, of course, 6 ft!

Most cars have metric speeds so how is that the EUs fault? Brian

That "regulation" is based on observed characteristics of existing systems, and their "event horizon". You can't drive faster, than the sensors can work.
If you want to drive 200kph in your car, simply switch off the lane-keeping or self-driving and have at it. The Autoban awaits. Climb out of the back seat and back into the front seat.
